I have installed Xfce4 over Bento, and things went wrong: tint2 and other Bento autostarted programs prevented xfce4 panel from starting, leaving a not xfce4 look-a-like desktop on screen.

There are other Desktop Environments –yes, i was told so– and we need to take care of them by adding a line on home-made autostart desktop files. xdg-autostart considers the desktop to be Openbox if no other name is passed on its command line. So adding 'OnlyShowIn=Openbox' in desktop file makes xdg-autostart launches the program only in a Openbox environment and ignore it in another desktop environment.

Note: Openbox doesn't exist in Freedesktop standard, the only standardized name left for generic desktop environment is Old, I couldn't used it.

When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.

I have question about D.E. names. I haved coded a new version of xdg-autostart in Vala and used OPENBOX as DE name. It was Openbox in the C coded version, changed to uppercase since a few minutes.

But, I am asking myself a question. D.E. names are case sensitive. OPENBOX looks like its an acronym and this annoys me a little . What do you think, should we use OPENBOX or Openbox?

Edit: Openbox has my preference; I have committed the code change. Plus, It's already the default case in the installed version of xdg-autostart.

It might as well be "openbox" which is what I used as well as other persons in some custom desktop files where we found out it works best with low case. I wonder if you should not ask the question directly on the #openbox chan at OFTC? (The main devs being of there).
